  The definitive short biography of President Lyndon Baines Johnson, based on Robert Dallek's award-winning biographies.Robert Dallek is among the country's most prolific and authoritative presidential biographers. Lyndon Johnson is arguably the president to whom he has devoted his most intensive archival research. This short biography, an adaptation of his two-volume magisterial biography, traces this presidential life from the Texas Hill Country to the House and Senate to the White House. It narrates his passage of a range of crucial legislation, from Medicare and environmental protection to the most significant advances in civil rights for black Americans ever achieved, as well as his continuation of the war in Vietnam. This brief work conveys Johnson as a man of towering intensity and anguished insecurity, of grandiose ambition and grave self-doubt, a man who was brilliant, crude, intimidating, compassionate, overbearing, driven: "A tornado in pants."This volume is being timed to coordinate with the fiftieth anniversary of Johnson's death.

  The Shocking Truth about Social...

  Social movements have shaped the course of history, challenging oppressive systems, advocating for change, and giving a voice to the marginalized. From civil rights struggles to labor movements, from feminist activism to climate change protests, these collective efforts have demonstrated the power of ordinary people to influence political, social, and economic landscapes. But what makes a social movement successful? Why do some fizzle out while others spark revolutions? This book explores the truth behind social movements—their origins, strategies, challenges, and impact on society.  
    
  Social movements arise from deep-seated grievances, often triggered by inequality, injustice, or political repression. When institutions fail to address these concerns, people come together to demand change. While some movements rely on peaceful protests, petitions, and advocacy, others take a more radical or even violent turn. The paths they take can determine their success or failure. Movements like the U.S. civil rights movement and India’s independence struggle succeeded through persistent, organized, and nonviolent resistance. In contrast, some movements collapse due to internal divisions, government crackdowns, or loss of public support.  
    
  In today’s digital age, technology has transformed activism. Social media has made it easier to mobilize large numbers of people, spread awareness, and hold those in power accountable. However, it has also given rise to misinformation, government surveillance, and fleeting activism that lacks long-term commitment. Movements that once took years to build can now emerge overnight, but sustaining them remains a challenge.

  The Making of a Democratic...

  Our economy is designed by the 1 percent, for the 1 percent. This book offers a compelling vision of an equitable, ecologically sustainable alternative that meets the essential needs of all people. 
   
  Seventy-one percent of the American people say the economy is rigged against them, and they're right. Marjorie Kelly and Ted Howard describe the current economic system as the Extractive Economy-it enables the financial elite to extract maximum gain for themselves, heedless of any damage to people or planet. As an alternative, they offer the Democratic Economy, which is responsive to the concerns of ordinary people and balances human consumption with the regenerative capacity of the earth. 
   
  Kelly and Howard lay out seven principles of a Democratic Economy: Community, Inclusion, Place (keeping wealth local), Good Work (putting labor before capital), Democratized Ownership, Ethical Finance, and Sustainability. The book pairs each principle with a portrait of a place where it is being put into practice, from Pine Ridge to Portland to Cleveland to Preston, England, and more. This is a powerful, coherent, and achievable vision of an economy that serves the many, not the few.

  Why White Liberals Fail - Race...

  From FDR to Clinton, Democratic leaders have promised a New South—a model of social equality and economic opportunity. So how did the region become the stronghold of conservative Republicans in thrall to Donald Trump? After a lifetime studying Southern politics, Anthony Badger has come to a provocative conclusion: white liberals failed because they put their faith in policy solutions as an engine for social change and were reluctant to confront directly the explosive racial politics dividing their constituents. 
   
   
   
  After World War II, many Americans believed that if the edifice of racial segregation, white supremacy, and voter disfranchisement could be dismantled across the South, the forces of liberalism would prevail. Hopeful that economic modernization and education would bring about gradual racial change, Southern moderates were rattled when civil rights protest and federal intervention forced their hand. Most were fatalistic in the face of massive resistance. When the end of segregation became inevitable, it was largely driven by activists and mediated by Republican businessmen. 
   
   
   
  Badger considers the dilemmas liberals faced across the South, arguing that their failure cannot be blamed simply on entrenched racism. Conservative triumph was not inevitable, he argues, before pointing to specific false steps and missed opportunities.

  Public Safety: A Necessity

  A community without public safety will be like the land of Israel in those days when there was no king in Israel—everyone does what seems good to them. They kill at will, rape both men, women, and children at will, steal at will, and whatsoever seems good to them, just like the animal kingdom. 
  I, O. T. Osawaru, the author of this book, observed that our societies are gradually becoming lawless. The police and other public safety departments were defunded while empowering criminals and making them heroes. Hence the need to write this book. And to shift our focus on the consequence of these acts and bring back law and order in our societies to preserve lives and properties. 
  After listening to this book, I pray you will become an advocate for the need for public safety and the funding of every public safety body—furthermore, to encourage every public safety officer for their noble service in our societies.
